What a pathetic thing to say by bringing his mother into this. If it's hard for you to read it improve your comprehension. You're just a lazy writer and troll who doesn't take the efforts to read. What's more important? The language or the substance. Atleast they're getting their point across.

Do you hug (and write) your mother with those lazy hands (or do you get paid to)?

To be honest, even if you had a valid argument, it's really hard to read through to sloppy part and style to figure out whether you're just a lazy troll or a lazy writer with something substantive to say.

Totally Agree. He probably started as a visionary but he has now lost his vision. Earlier Jindal used to offer a lot of scholarships to students and cared about quality. But now any tom, dick and Harry who can pay the fees can get admitted into the college - you can totally forget quality. They also stopped giving good scholarships and it has turned into a full blown business with Mishra ji bragging about admissions intake every year like the marketting team of a company hitting their target. There are so many new schools now - I wouldn't be surprised if he starts an engineering wing and medical wing as well. Adding on to the fact that these guys actually advertised offering LLB(Hons.) Course without having the recognition to confer such degree for which students filed a case against the University in Punjab and Haryana High Court. When a college becomes too big to handle than its appetite, the quality goes significantly down and that's what's happening to JGLS these days. My biggest fear as an alumni is that one day JGLS will be equated to Galgothias University because of the declining quality and I would have to be embarrassed about my college. Hopefully that doesn't happen in the future

As we are talking about anonymity in commentary about law stuff online, this article from today's London Times (published on their website late last night) is worth a read, I think. Hope it stimulates someone to think something useful, and definitely stimulates us all to be more reflective in our commentary here, our anonymity notwithstanding...

A crown court judge was accused of using an anonymous social media account to conduct a campaign of online harassment against a female barrister and feminist campaigner.

Judge Daniel Sawyer, who sits in Portsmouth, stood accused of breaching judicial guidance on social media and abusing his position by targeting Charlotte Proudman on X, according to a complaint submitted to the judicial watchdog.

The account presented itself as an anonymous criminal barrister commenting on legal issues and court practice. The complaint alleges that Sawyer used it to criticise Proudman’s views on rape prosecutions while concealing his identity.

The submission claimed that Sawyer used a the account, “Yet Another Tweeting Barrister”, to repeatedly post, like and reply to hostile commentary about Proudman, including criticism of her views on rape law and the criminal justice system.

The Times understands that posts relating to horseback archery, a niche sport in which Sawyer is heavily involved, formed part of the material used to identify him as the operator of the account.

The complaint alleged his online activity included tweets accusing Proudman of knowing “nothing” about the criminal courts and suggesting her commentary could discourage victims from reporting crimes. Screenshots attached to the complaint showed posts urging readers not to let Proudman’s comments “put you off reporting crime” and criticising her understanding of how sexual offence cases are handled in court.

The complaint also highlighted an adapted lyric referencing the phrase “99 problems but a bitch ain’t one”, which the document said some followers interpreted as referring to Proudman. In a subsequent tweet, the account said it did not know the phrase “99 problems” was a reference to the word “bitch”.

It further alleged that Sawyer encouraged other users to report Proudman to the Bar Standards Board (BSB) and contact her chambers, which the complaint said prompted abusive replies from members of the public, including misogynistic insults.

The tweets were mostly written in 2022, when Sawyer was a recorder or part-time judge. He was appointed a circuit judge for the western circuit in 2024. The submission alleged that such conduct risked undermining public confidence in the judiciary and breached guidance warning judges not to assume social media activity was private or free from scrutiny.

Judicial guidance circulated to members of the bench warned that judges should “pause before you post” and remember that liking or interacting with posts can be perceived as endorsement of their content.

The complaint also criticised Sawyer for filing a complaint to the BSB about Proudman’s social media posts, which triggered a lengthy investigation that was ultimately dropped. According to documents referenced in the complaint, Proudman was investigated for several months before the allegations were discontinued without explanation or apology.

The submission asked the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) to investigate whether Sawyer’s conduct amounted to misconduct under judicial conduct rules, alleging that his actions constituted “public harassment, gender-based bullying and misuse of his judicial office”.

On Friday the JCIO told the complainant it would not proceed further with the complaint because it had been made outside the three-month time limit set out in the rules, adding that even if it had been admitted it would not have warranted disciplinary action.

Proudman said she believed the posts formed part of a sustained campaign against her. She told The Times: “Daniel Sawyer targeted me with a public campaign of harassment and misogyny. This behaviour is utterly incompatible with the standards expected of those entrusted with judicial power.”

A spokesperson for the JCIO said: “The [office] has responsibility for the investigation of conduct and discipline of judges. [We] cannot comment on individual complaints, investigations or legal proceedings.”

Sawyer was approached for comment.

I never even understood why such prestigious scholarships are ever handed to law students, as a lawyer. They bring nothing to the table as opposed to engineers/ doctors/ research science graduates who actually create products and innovation, which should receive funding. Law is just like finance, an ancillary service.

Nope. No such thing. Even the Asansol campus has been called off now after OVN weaved his magic in the first EC. He has made it clear that he would focus on consolidation during his tenure and not expansion. Some of the useless courses started by NKC are on their way out already.

Righto. NUJS doesn't have the political valence of Jogesh, Surendra Nath, Hazra, South Calcutta Law Colleges (all entirely dependant on state funds) but it is not entirely off the political radar. NUJS has an entirely different lane to traffic in IOUs.

I guess the original query wanted to probe whether CM (now as the state law minister) will attend EC or make a big announcement and whether it will involve some trade off, for example a North Bengal campus etc

If Modi isn't to be blamed for the problems caused to the country because of his foreign policy, then he isn't to be praised for whatever progress the country has made during his tenure either. You can't have it both ways. Bhakts are still claiming that there is no shortage and LPG is readily available, whereas the reality is that booking and getting a cylinder is next to impossible now using normal channels.

Induction cookers AND their pots and pans are sold out, not everything can be made in a microwave or airfryer, people want to eat proper food and not snacks throughout the day, etc

Stop imposing your pathetic hostel Life style on people who have a family to feed.

Panic is not setting in some countries since they do not have a huge population like ours where shortage is imminent. And for those that are populated as much as ours, there definitely is panic, you just don't read the news well.

Also, instead of us sacrificing, why not put the blame on the real people for once. Stop supporting PDO elites and stand with the common person for once.

You can study anywhere. If you work hard and stay focused on your studies and on building skills for placements, you can succeed whether it is NLUO Odisha or DU. Your effort matters the most and with dedication you can create good opportunities for yourself from anywhere.

Also the 3-year LLB program has only recently started and the first batch will pass out in 2026 so right now we can only make assumptions. The real picture will become clear once the first batch pass

And yes DU is definitely good no doubt about that . But an NLU is also an NLU. I know the 3-year LLB there has just started and it is new, but because of the NLU brand and the high fees they charge, I believe they will try to provide good placement opportunities as well. In the end, if you work hard and build your skills, you can benefit from those opportunities.

Hey Guys!

I completed my callback in Disputes at SAM Delhi back in February. During the internship, I had received positive feedback from the team members I worked with. At one point, I was even told that they might consider recommending me for a General PPO if there was an issue with vacancies in the team. However, after the internship ended, I mailed the HR and received a brief reply stating that I have not been recommended by my team for a PPO. When I followed up, I was told that the decision was based on my feedback not being positive.

I’m honestly not sure how to process this, especially since the feedback during the internship was positive. Is this something that happens often? Is there still any hope with the firm? And how should I proceed from here? Would really appreciate any insights.

Thanks a lot!

I have not gone through this myself, but I have seen friends who have successfully done it. The biggest part is confidence which comes from practice , so try and avoid speaking in other languages outside of home. Even among friends try practicing your English by speaking with them. Obviously in office as well. Read English newspaper everyday to pick up new words. Over a period of time both your English and confidence will improve. all the best!

Greetings LI,

To firstly introduce myself, I am born and raised in a tier-3 city where speaking English wasn't modus operandi, growing around with people that had little to no exposure to english as a language wasn't uncommon. This environment has plagued me to the point that I lag behind my peers when it comes to my communication skills. I in my first year believed this issue to be trivial in nature but interning at big law firms has revealed to me the damage it has done to my job prospects or my carrier in corporate law itself. The reason why I am writing this post here at LI is to welcome any advice from people who have went through this and have rose above it or any advice from people who have seen their loved ones go through it. Please no trolls as it is matter of my entry into the corporate world. We already know how tough is to get into the legal corporate considering the huge competition but limited jobs. Thank you

Alok left Vidhi early last year and wrote the chapter long after that. I think he said as much to the Indian Express https://indianexpress.com/article/india/ncert-book-row-sc-wants-centre-states-disassociate-10576984/. Not sure why this would have anything to do with Vidhi.

What is the need for introducing a 3-year LLB course at NLUs? NLSIU was established following the 14th Law Commission Report, which suggested that the 3-year LLB was no longer sufficient. That is why the 5-year integrated course was started. However, now those same NLUs are reintroducing the 3-year course. They lack proper examination standards, and the quality of students being admitted is very poor. So far, NLSIU, DSNLU, NLUO, and CNLU have already started this.

Busts the myth that only boys engage in violent behaviour.

I am a 4th year law student. I come from a tier 2 college. Recently I interned with CAM and now I have an internship offer from SAM after repeatingly sending my CV to them every now and then.

But I have always wanted to intern at Trilegal and I have been constantly applying but I have not received any response..

What could be the reason ??

I already have 2-3 NGO internships from my school days so not looking to do that now. What kind of internship will be the best for me? corporate or advocate/judge in district/hc/sc courts? or maybe at a tribual (pretty confident i could get one a ITAT)?I have an internship lined up with a small corporate firm and one sc justice but I think it may look bad on my CV because it could be considered too early for that atm. Also I dont know much about anything law related right now honestly so idk how I'd be able to even assist them. Help me out please! I go to an NLU btw.
